Team Up: You’ll join (or form) a patrol of 6–8 leaders.
Create Your Identity: Patrols bring their own theme, costumes, cheer, flag, and totems. Creativity is half the fun!
Friendly Competition: Patrols compete in challenges, games, and activities to earn points toward the coveted Honor Patrol title or the Spirit Patrol award.
Games & Challenges: Saturday morning is filled with team-based games that test skills, teamwork, and quick thinking.
Campwide Game: Saturday afternoon brings a large, all-patrol challenge that gets everyone involved.
Beads & Claws: Earn colorful beads for participating in events and add a signature claw to your necklace each year you attend.
Saturday night’s campwide dinner is a highlight. Patrols bring their meals to the dining hall, decorate their tables with creative, theme-based displays, and share desserts with other patrols.
After dinner, we move to the campfire for stories, skits, game awards, and the annual claw ceremony.
Honor Patrol: Awarded to the highest-scoring patrol across all competitions and events.
Spirit Patrol: Voted on by patrol leaders for enthusiasm, teamwork, and Scout spirit.
Silver Claw: A special recognition for our exiting Scoutmaster who has shown years of dedication to S.W.C.
White Claw: awarded to the entire camp when snow falls during the weekend
January in the North Georgia mountains means cold-weather camping—so come prepared. Layered clothing, warm gear, and a good attitude are essential.
Campsites are shared spaces, so Leave No Trace principles are always in effect.
Campsite Inspections are performed by the staff and are a judged event.
Patrols are invited to bring their creativity and innovation to their campsite pioneering project.
From Friday’s Colossal Cobb Café to Sunday’s Scout’s Own Service, every moment is about connection, learning, and fun.
You’ll leave with new skills, new friends, and stories you’ll be sharing all year.
